Kenyans voted funniest looking in Africa

Kenyans were last year voted the funniest looking people in Africa. With 48 participating nations in the Annual Most Beautiful People of Africa Awards, held at the Gregor Theatre in Bloemfontein South Africa, Kenya took the last position, dislodging Zambia and reclaiming the title it held in 2000.
It posted 7 points out of a possible 540. The top position was taken by Rwanda, followed by Cameroon and then Ethiopia as second runners up. The last three positions were Kenya at 48, Zambia at 47, then Gabon, at 46.
The judges said they gave their points based on presentation, physical appearance, grooming, communication and other areas. Coincidentally this came just a week after an article on Kenyans appeared in the Pretorian Bird.
The article, in theentertainment section, claims ‘Kenya has the funniest looking president on earth' (then former president Kibaki), and ‘a VP with a strange looking head' (Kalonzo).
It goes on to say that Kikuyu women and Luo men pose the most weird features. Read this: "Women from the Kikuyu community have small legs, totally no figures, and a little exaggerated heads. They lack good behinds and those who have them look like inflated balloons. They are shaped like pyramids turned upside down.
A big upper frame and an almost invisible lower bit. Luo men on the other side have distorted facial features…say big lips and huge noses or should we call them knobs. Kikuyu men are also disproportional, and most of them are stunted. They walk leaning forward. Plus they have long rusty teeth."

My take: I find the findings baseless and i am shocked that people may devote their time to find out which country has funny looking people!!
